The Psychology major at Krea is designed to train students not just to question and put studies to scrutiny, but also to develop a robust understanding of what works and how we build testable hypotheses to think about human behaviour and mind. The guiding principles of the curriculum development are contextualised research, ethical rigour, scientific integrity and decolonising psychological science.

Each trimester of the undergraduate program in psychology is carefully curated to ensure that the courses offered in that term are in critical conversations with each other. In the process, students will become familiar with the diverse streams of thought and studies in psychology. Exploring, understanding, critiquing and building psychological thought, theories, and methods within psychology and from related disciplines, the programme will provide students a foundation to work in their third year in specific streams of psychology and develop a research project for their capstone thesis. Krea students will learn the fundamentals of evidence-based psychological science, parsing credible sources, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, running simple quasi-experimental studies, developing an ethics of field work (including learning the process of getting studies approved by ethics committees), learning to write about psychology within the academic conventions of an APA/MLA format, and gaining enough critical knowledge and creativity to craft journalistic pieces for public understanding based on research-based studies without being reductive or misleading about the data and/or findings.
